When to Pick Fruit

When fruits are mature they make preparations for falling, just as mature leaves do. A distinct line is formed upon the stem of the fruit, in prepara- tion for the separation. When the apple or pear is mature, 1t will separate from the tree without any pulling mere lifting the fluit from its hanging position to a horizontal one, will cause the separation from the tree to take place at once. A little observation will teach when the fruit Is ready to be gathered. At this time, the fruit having made its growth, derives nothing more from the tree. After the fruit is full grown its next step is toward decay. Decay in early kinds comes in few days or weeks. In the late sorts it requires several months, but whether early or late, there is stage in this progress from maturity to decay, when the fruit suits our purpose, and we say, that is s'ripe," or mellow" or "in eating.'' This time in early kinds comes very quickly, and other varieties do not assume it before spring. Early kinds come "into eating condition so soon that they will bear but little transporta- tion, hence are suited only to near markets. But these vary greatly, and there are from very early and autumn ripeninS kinds, to the very latest. The fruit grower should be careful obser- yer of these points. The best fruit may be spoiled or materially depreciated in value by careless picking and handling. Properly constructed cold storage houses will do much towards keeping fruit if picked at the right time, if not picked at the right time 1t cannot be kept profitably even in the best of fruit houses.- American Agriculturist for August.

LAkEVILLE.

The re-dedication of the M E church occurred last week Thursday. The morning service consisted of fine music by the choir, including solo by Miss Fannie Turner; report, by the pastor, of work done and funds expended, fol- lowed by an eloquent sermon by Dr Hare, presiding elder of the Poughkeep- sic district. At one o'clock collation. was served in the hall. At the after noon service Miss Turner and Mir Har- vey sang duet, and after other music by the choir, Mrs McCutheon read a very interesting sketch of the history of the Lakeville M. E. church. Dr Hare then called upon Rev J. G. Oakley, the only ex-pastor present, to sisted in pleasing "reminiscences of the three years he was among us, and were quite complimentary to the Lakeville charge. In the evening Dr Vail, of White Plains, closed the exercises in 8 very fitting and edifying sermon from the text : ''I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord" The work of church repairs which for so many months has claimed the time, thought and labor of pastor and people, is at length completed, and we have now neat, tasteful house of | worship. Great credit is due to the trustees of the church that all this has been done without any debt, but on the contrary, there is money left in the treasury .. Miss Tillie Jennings has returned home, after an absence of nearly year. Miss Laura Perkins, of Winsted, is visiting at o. Benjamin's s

 ing efforts to finish having but find it hard work ... Tobacco cutting has com menced. But few crops are raised in this section of the town, but those are looking finely There is quite boom in real estate, two cellars are dug and new houses will be erected within a short time. There are many other desirable building lots, but we have heard it said that parties wishing to purchase must affirm that they are not married and give sufficient bond that they will not commit matrimony while they remain residents, but don't know how true it is. The rain of last week washed the roads badly and in some sections the travelling is dangerous. ... Our pastor has returned from his vaca- tion and resumed his duties, much benefited by his travels in strange and far countries. During his absence we had the pleasure of listening to Rev Dr Nelson, of Brooklyn, and it is no detri- ment to anyone to say that we had three of the most powerful sermons ever delivered from our pulpt. "He never strides through metiphysic mists till all admire the wit which brought him through. Nor strives to have his hear. CTS loose one glimpse of Heaven to cast it on the priest" but his sermons are plain and practical, and wayfaring man can easily comprehend them . . An effort is being made to obtain some hay scales in this village. If it is suc- cessful some of our heavy weights can ascertain their exact averdepoise.

DEDICATION OF THE METHODIST
 CHURCH AT LAkEVILLE.

For five months the church here has been closed for repairs, and dur Ing that time has had cellar excava- ted-with Q new heater placed in it. has had new roof, new pews, new carpet, new furniture for the altar and pulpit and new chandelier. The galle- " has been enclosed for 8 prayer room, and the whole church has been decorated and also painted inside and out, the whole being done at cost of S2,3OO.
 One year ago no one but the pastor supposed this work could be accom- plished, as the society had just paid off heavy debt, but he resolved, with Gods help. to try. Friends in and out of the village helped us, and on Tues day, the 16th, the church was reopen ed, with services continuing through out the day, presided over by Dr Hare. and horored by the presence of Revs Sanford, Belcher, Oakley, Wing, Curtis, Michen, Wilcox, Evans, Vail, Scott and other friends.
 In the morning Dr Hare preached an appropriate and eloquent sermon, from Psalms 1895. In the afternoon we had pleasant "reminiscences of the preachers who had held services here during the last ninety nine years, and speech from Dr Oakley, given in ihis most happy vein of gentle satire and humor- ous talk, concerning his pastorate ir this village.
 In the evening we listened to Rev Dr Vail, of White Plains. Coming from the top of the Catskills to serve us, heavens own sweetness was on his face and on his tongue, and his word: were indeed we'll chosen for the occa sion, as he preached from, "I wa. glad when they said unto me, Let u: go up unto the house of the Lord.'' The ladies of the church very generously provided entertainment fo. | those who attended the services, fur | nishing 8 bountiful dinner and tea fo: all. The collections throughout tht day were thank offerings purely, money enough having been collected to more than cover the expenses of repairing and the pastor, in this, his last year O service, leaves the church in bette condition, according to one of thu speakers, than it has ever been througl all its history-in the past. .. With its earnest membership, it helpful friends of other denominations it ought to do, and we are convinced will do, grand work for the Master il the future. OMEGA.

The Cranhp Of Swimmers.

People are drowned by an attack oi cramp because of the terror accompany ing it, when the arms are invariably thrown up over the head-a sure way of going to the bottom I teach little children, from five years up, to prope] themselves through the water with one hand only, or one foot, or with hands or feet alone, and through familiarity with such movements, if an attack of cramp should overtake the swimmer they will be prepared for the emergency and keep cool until a landing is effected, when vigorous rubbing of the cramped muscles will make matters all right
